Interesting pose and love the over shoulder look. The image seems a little over sharp in areas in particular around the head. Nice shot.

Great image Simon, sharpness looks fine on my monitor. I like the pose, composition, the BG and the web. The head angle complete with catchlight in the eye, very nice. I like it a lot.

[Tony Kirkby]

Nice shot Simon. Also looks ok on my monitor. The spider web on the samphire bottom right is a bonus!

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

Nice timing and pose,maybe little room to the left!

A nice capture Simon of this superb blue wren perched on the samphire bush. Slight red cast on my monitor and I woud suggest a crop off the top to strengthen the composition. But well caught with the damselfly!

Just a little more rrom at the left but is just my taste. The spider web and the damselfly are great bonus. BTW I love the tittle that you choose for thei image ;)
